Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Your points are certainly true. Maybe it's that their products are of innovative design. They seem to have built the first compact stereo loaded with transmission-line. Their compact pc speakers, with their slot-firing dual passive radiators is pretty neat, and really kicks for tiny speakers (although it's still not as good as my Aego system). They also have an electric active suspension design for cars, although it's too heavy and complex to use.
That's all I'm saying. They've got... uh... neat stuff.
